The main objective of the scheme is to provide 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in every financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

  • Employment Guarantee Scheme Funds to the extent of Rs 38.08 crore were diverted to other schemes.
  • Of the 23.39 lakh rural households who were provided employment during the period from February 2006 to March 2007 the targeted 100 days of employment in a financial year was achieved only in respect of 79,969 households (3 per cent) resulting in non achievement of the main objective of the scheme.
